Appearance
Robert Munsch Book
I was really disappointed in the book itself. It was tiny (5x5 at best!) I bet I look at the "fine print" next time to ensure the book is of somewhat normal size...
Disappointing - book size TOO SMALL
This book is an EXCELLENT book. However, nowhere in the description does it mention that this specific copy is only 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 inches. I bought this book to read to my students, but because of the size, I was not able to use it either as a readaloud or on my classroom bookshelf. The story itself, as can be expected in many Munsch books, was hilariously funny. I only wish that I was able to use the book.
WAY TO SMALL TO READ
I ordered this book for my child's classroom not having any idea it is 3.5" by 3.5" small. It does not state in the description how small it is. I recommend that you do not buy it, it is to small for your child to read.
Strange unexpected size
I never thought I would have to look at the size of a book before I bought it but I guess I do.This is a funny story but the size is too small and it models poor behavior (saying no to your parents and teachers).
TRULY MIXED REVIEW FOR TWO REASONS
This is truly a great story but this book is too small! WAY TOO SMALL TO READ ALOUD TO A CLASS!I ordered this book for my classroom but it measures only 3.5" by 3.5"! It really should state in the description how extremely small it is. I recommend that you do not buy it and look for the version that is big enough for you to use as a shared reading size book for your classroom! In all honesty, it's a SUPERB STORY, but this book is WAAAAAAAAY TOO small for you to read to a child to see the pictures in the book! Seriously. Get a ruler and make a box 3.5 inches by 3.5 inches! The book is that little! THAT is why it is only 1.99. Shame on Amazon.com for not putting the size of this teeny tiny book somewhere in the description. OH, by the way, they used a HUGE box to ship it in too! SUCH A WASTE OF SHIPPING MATERIAL!
Teeny tiny!
My daughter heard the story at school and wanted her own copy. I ordered it thinking it was a normal size paperback childrens book. She and I were very disappointed that it was a mini book (3x3in.) The product description next to the picture doesn't clearly state this.
